A couple of months ago, the mainstream
media got all excited about leaked emails from Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad and 'bombshell' revelations such as the fact that Assad's wife
likes to spend a lot of money on expensive furniture.

Would that same corporate press be interested
if documents were leaked showing that Assad's military forces had set
up detention camps in which they planned to incarcerate political activists
and subject them to re-education programs and slave labor?

Of course it would, the story would
be all over CNN, ABC and Fox News. The documents would be heralded as
chilling evidence that Assad is in charge of a dictatorial regime that
plans to kidnap demonstrators and imprison them in North Korean-style
gulags.

The documents would be held up as solid
justification for a swift NATO military action in the name of 'humanitarian
intervention'.

And yet last week we had the release
of documents which prove the existence of re-education forced labor
camps for political dissidents not only abroad but inside the United
States itself! An even more shocking story you would imagine?

And the reaction from the mainstream
media? You could hear a pin drop.

We
have now exhaustively proven in a series of articles that the U.S.
Army is training its personnel, through the policies outlined in a manual
entitled FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations
(PDF),
to "indoctrinate" "political activists" incarcerated
in detention camps into developing an “understanding and appreciation
of U.S. policies and actions.”

(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)

On page 281 of the manual we even see
the use of the term itself when we learn that the role of camp personnel
is focused around, "reorienting or reeducating the I/R facility
population or setting the stage for acceptance of future operations."

These camp prisoners are to include
“civilian internees” detained “within U.S. territory”
as part of “civil support operations” in the aftermath of
“man-made disasters, accidents, terrorist attacks and incidents
in the U.S. and its territories” involving FEMA and the Department
of Homeland Security.

The manual also directs that political
activists be confined to isolation and that prisoners be silenced using
by "muffling them with a soft, clean cloth tied around their mouths
and fastened at the backs of their heads.”

To reiterate - all of these policies
outlined in the Army's manual can
be applied to U.S. citizens on American soil so long as the President
passes an executive order to nullify Posse Comitatus, the law that forbids
the U.S. military from engaging in domestic law enforcement.

If President Bashar al-Assad was directing
his military forces to round-up political activists and use them for
slave labor in re-education camps, the international outcry would be
deafening, the media circus would be off the charts.

Yet all this is already in black and
white, already on the books, ready and waiting to be used domestically
in the aftermath of the next major terrorist attack or natural disaster
- and the mainstream media has completely ignored it.

The story has been blacklisted.
